Startup Script Error

[Msmith]

hi all

i have a script in the all users startup folder that calls an external program. About 30% of the time I get the following error.

error: unable to execute the external program. An instance of the service is already running.

I checked taskmanger just to see and there is no other instance running.

thanks

mike

My Script

$var1 = "bginfo.exe " & '"C:\Program Files\BgInfo\inventory.bgi" ' & "/timer:0 /silent /nolicprompt"

RunAsSet('user1', 'server1', 'passwdrd1', 2)

Run($var1, "C:\Program Files\BgInfo", @SW_MINIMIZE)

To be sure try absolute path to EXE:

$var1 = '"C:\Program Files\BgInfo\bginfo.exe" ' & '"C:\Program Files\BgInfo\inventory.bgi" ' & "/timer:0 /silent /nolicprompt"
RunAsSet('user1', 'server1', 'passwdrd1', 2)
Run($var1, "C:\Program Files\BgInfo", @SW_MINIMIZE)

Don't need all the &'s in there in the string

$var1 = '"C:\Program Files\BgInfo\bginfo.exe" "C:\Program Files\BgInfo\inventory.bgi" /timer:0 /silent /nolicprompt'
